What reading level is The Story of Minstrelsy book?
To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
In restoring church music, Charles II. found him- self in the singular dilemma of being unable to obtain choristers. Matthew Locke writing in 1673, remarks, " For above a year after the opening of his Majesty's chapel, the orderers of the music there, were necessitated to supply the superior parts of their music with cornets and men's feigned voices ; there being not one lad for all that time capable of singing his part readily." The taste of the day now set towards instrumental music — especia...lly that for 207 Story of Minstrelsy- strings. Tom Durfey's song of " Four-and-twenty Fiddlers, all in a row," satirized the actual state of things in regard to the court band. The fiddlers were not, however, as Hawkins imagined, all players of the treble violin; but were balanced as follows: — 6 violins, 6 counter-tenors, 6 tenors, and 6 basses. Baltzar (one of the finest players of his day) was the first leader; after him came Bannister; and, finally. Monsieur Grabu, whom all the historians delight in picturing as an impudent impostor.
